(Credit: Metro PCS) If you're looking to score a true Android smartphone on the cheap, and with no contract, the new $79 Huawei Valiant for Metro PCS just may be the ticket. Judging from specs alone, the Valiant doesn't pack much of a component punch. While the phone's screen measures a sizable 4-inches across, it's powered by a relatively slow 1GHz dual-core processor. It also has just 2GB of internal storage, though features an SD card slot for upgrades. Related stories Microsoft can kiss other Windows Phone vendors goodbye The budget-friendly T-Mobile Prism 2 (pictures) Huawei to U.S.: 'Put up or shut up' The Valiant's 3 megapixel camera likely won't impress and Huawei fails to mention how much RAM the handset has at its disposal. Still, the phone does offer Android 4.1 Jelly Bean software which can tackle all the basic Google skills and services. Weighing 4.93 ounces, Huawei also describes the Valiant as "sleek" though I'd rather say it looks compact at least until I see it up close. One thing's for sure, the Valiant is a far cry from Huawei's jaw-droppingly thin Ascend P6 flagship phone. The P6 flaunts both a sexy aluminum design, and top-notch parts and software. Check out the Huawei Valiant for yourself to decide if it's enough smartphone for you or will leave you wanting for more mobile power.
